I met Cullen on a trip to Chicago in 2014, I stopped into the location in Merriville, IN and boy was I impressed! Cullen at Aaland Diamon Jewelers is one of the most genuine guys I have met. In the Jewelry business trustworthiness is rare but extremely important! I commissioned he and his team to create from my imagination pieces of jewelry as gifts. Each time they impressed me with their quality of craftsmanship and attention to detail. After dealing with him a few times, during conversation I found out that he is a re-seller of high end watches, He knows his watches and has hunted down some of the watches I have been having a hard time getting my hands on. When it comes to Rolex, he has got the ability to surprise me with by quickly sourcing the requested watches and never compromising when it comes to condition and quality just to provide me the a make and model requested. Each watch has been in mint condition with boxes and papers. I have already referred friends to Aaland for wedding rings, watches, and custom pieces of jewelry and would not hesitate to recommend anyone looking for a quality jeweler local or not. I order mine now all the way down in Florida! read more

I met the owner, Cullen, playing volleyball through mutual friends. He is an extremely personable individual and a very easy person to talk to. I asked how he got in the business and he shared with me his extremely interesting and inspiring story. When my friend was looking for a meaningful gift for his girlfriend, I referred him to see Cullen at Aaland Diamond Jewelers. My friend doesn't own a vehicle and wast not excited to travel from Lincoln Park, Chicago to Northwest Indiana, but ended up making the trip. The next time I saw my friend, he told me that he had purchased what he and his soon to be wife thought of as the perfect gift. My friend had mentioned to me that speaking with Cullen was like catching up with an old friend. I have since visited his store and currently have my eye on a gift for myself. I highly recommend visiting Cullen with Aaland Diamond Jewelers, even if you don't know what you're looking for. I assure you will be satisfied with the service and product. Just be careful with his volleyball spike! read more

First off; I never use Yelp to describe my previous business transactions, but with Aaland, I could not resist. I was shopping for a ring for my fiancé and have gone to numerous known brand named Jewelers throughout Chicago. Though they were very nice to work with, I felt I was not receiving the full attention I needed to make the absolute best selection. I shopped around for Jewelery stores within the Chicago area and came across Aaland. I figured I try it out; which turned out to be great decision. I came a across a gentleman by the name of Cullen Wulf and not only was he friendly and attentitive towards my wants and needs, but I felt he was also very honest and knowledgeable about his business and prices. I could not have asked for a smoother process; thank you to Aaland and a very special thank you to Cullen for making my transaction stress free! read more

I worked with Cullen on my wife's engagement ring and wedding band, and I could not be happier with his work! After leaving a different big chain jewelry store in Merrillville, I noticed AaLand's billboard on the expressway and decided to go in. I explained to Cullen exactly what I wanted in an engagement ring. Not only was he very friendly and easy to work with, but he was willing to customize the ring to the style that I wanted at a price that was half that of what the other jewelry store quoted me. I was going to propose to my wife in three weeks at the Chicago Bulls game, so I told him I needed it within that short time frame. Two weeks later, the ring was customized and looked amazing! I would highly recommend Aaland Diamond Jewelers for any of your jewelry needs. read more

I have made many purchases at many different jewerly stores in my life. Ever since I discovered Aaland I have made 5-6 more purchases, all at Aaland! For me there is no other jewerly store anymore! I have referred many people there and have even accompanied a few close friends just because I consider Cullen a friend of mine now and I felt like I was just introducing mutuals friends! I have had people so passionately thank me after purchasing their purchases (especially engagement rings) and I'm like "NOOOOOOO Thank Cullen! He's the diamond wizard!!" HAHA He laughs every time I call him that but he really is! Well Cullen I hope you're reading this and I look forward to your next phone call telling me that you have something just for me :) read more

I was introduced to Cullen through my brother when I was shopping around for an engagement ring back in January. While I had already spoken to my now fiance's sister leading up to my conversation with Cullen about what I needed, he helped make this stressful process a whole lot easier. We did a custom ring and Cullen spent so much time going back and forth emailing me over the past several weeks so we could get it right. He even took time to meet me one evening and show me options in person around my work schedule. My fiance couldn't believe how exact everything was - she can't stop looking at it! I will definitely be seeing Cullen again for any other jewelry I'll be getting her in the future. A+ all around. read more

I had been considering selling a special peice out of my jewelry collection for some time. I had just randomly stopped here just to see what its value was. So glad I did, every part of my experience here was nothing short of fantastic. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. The gentleman that took care of me was very straightforward, honest, and gave me a more than fair offer for my peice. While waiting my turn to be seen I was able to browse the store and was in amazement how big of a selection and variety they actually have to see. Even though this was my first visit it will definitely not be my last. I will be returning here and will be reccomending them for any of jewelry purchases, sales, and repairs. read more

My daughter introduced me to the owner of this shop, Cullen Wulf, a few years ago. I was looking to reproduce a ring I saw while on vacation in MX. He was able to make the same ring at a substantial savings to me. Since that first purchase, he has designed and made two other rings that are fabulous and then created a diamond pendant for me as well. He is creative, very patient with his customers and gives you a quality product that is exactly what he describes to you. I would recommend him highly. The quality of his diamonds are excellent as well and the pricing quite reasonable. No need for me to look elsewhere as this will be my go to when looking for any new jewelry. read more

After 28 years of marriage, we decided to upgrade my wedding ring. I knew Cullen Wulf through my daughter who are both Valparaiso University graduates. I stopped in to meet with Cullen at AaLand Jewelry and was very impressed with their selection. I told Cullen what I was looking for and after we exchanged a couple of emails, he helped me pick out just the right design. When I went to pick up my ring, I was speechless. It was so beautiful and exactly what I wanted. I look at my ring every day and couldn't be happier. I would recommend Cullen Wulf and AaLand Jewelry to anyone look for that extra special piece of jewelry. Their service is top notch. Thanks Cullen! read more

I've known Cullen, the owner of Aaland Diamond, for many, many years. Always a consummate professional, there's not a person more fair and honest than Cullen. When I decided to propose to my now fiance, it was a no-brainer that I was going to drive from Nashville, Tennessee to Merrillville to buy my ring from Cullen. At times, choosing that perfect ring can be daunting; but, Cullen made the process as easy as possible. The result was an absolutely gorgeous ring at an incredibly fair price that has been talked about and commented on by dozens and dozens of people. If you want jewelry that will be cherished for a lifetime, Aaland Diamond is the place to do business. read more

I had to join yelp and share my superb experience with AaLand jewelers because they treated me that good! I came to Aaland looking to purchase my first significant watch purchase. I met with Cullen Wulf and he helped me find exactly the type of watch I was looking for. He had the exact model on hand and he was able to locate the steel band that completed the look. He was able to have the original band swapped for steel band and boom, I had the perfect watch that I dreamed of! I can't say enough about the how great I was treated. Cullen exceeded my expectations and when I'm in the market for another watch, Aaland will be the first and only place that I go! read more

To say that these guys are "the best" is a complete understatement. They deliver, the best service and the best diamonds in Chicago- HANDS DOWN. I recently had the pleasure of dealing with a Sir Cullen and he should be our next mayor. His exquisite attention to detail and brilliant financial background is something that I have never seen combined in a single human. We should hire him. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Aaland Diamond and Mr. Cullen. I will forever shower my wife, daughters, grand daughters and so on with jewelry and phenomenal diamonds from Cullen until my time is no more. Sincerely, thank you all again! read more

I had the pleasure of working with Cullen the other day after months of research on where to find high quality, well priced sapphires. Cullen was very easy to talk to and learn from. He was very responsive to all my questions and walked me through the process one step at a time. I never felt any pressure to buy anything, rather, he was more a friend helping me get exactly what I was looking for. I can't wait to show of my new jewelry, and by more. I highly recommend Cullen at Aaland Diamond Jewelers for your next fancy purchase! read more

I have had two positive experiences with Aaland, specifically with Cullen. We 1st used their certified Rolex repairman to fix my mom's watch that wasn't keeping time. It needed a second repair, but Cullen hand delivered it to my mom's house in Chicago and made sure it looked brand new! I also purchased a brand new citizen eco-drive watch for my boyfriend for Christmas. I got a great deal and the watch is beautiful! Thank you Cullen and Aaland. The personal touches and attention to detail really make a difference! read more

My wife and I have been looking for a anniversary ring for quite awhile, and went to a lot of jewelry stores where they all tried pushing something else on us and out of our budget. We had driven past Aaland jewelry a few times and we finally stopped in. We were greeted by Cullen. After 30 seconds, he knew exactly what we were looking for. best experience I ever had shopping for anything. I would highly recommend Aaland to everyone. It's good to have "a guy"! read more

I'd highly recommend Aaland Diamond Jewelers, and in particular, the owner Cullen Wulf. Cullen helped me design the custom piece that I recently presented to my now fiancee, and it was a smash hit! Cullen took time with me to understand what my fiancee was interested in, I provided him with some details that she had mentioned, and in a couple of weeks I had a custom piece that both she and her friends have been gushing over ever since! Thank you Cullen! read more

They have an exceptional staff that goes above and beyond to ensure your jewelry shopping experience is outstanding. Rhonda did a fantastic job designing my engagement ring and attention to detail! My ring is stunning! I am looking forwarding to working with them for all my future jewelry purchases including designing my wedding band. I can not thank Rhonda and Cullen enough for helping Ryan though this process! read more

Very professional and a surprisingly elegant and inviting environment. The outside of the place doesn't look like much but when you step inside it's totally different. I sat with one of the salesmen and he spent probably 2 hours showing me different diamonds and rings. I had a friend recommend me and it was great just like he said it would be. They're very talented and honest about what they're selling you. read more
